Review of The Terminator (1984) by Ydnar4 — 09 Jul 2015
The Terminator was one of the most revolutionary films of all time and is one of the defining films of the action genre. This is one of the most well written and directed action films. James Cameron put himself on the map with this movie that inspired several films after it.
The CGI is ground breaking for its time and the action hold up just as well now as it did in 1984. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays The Terminator which is the film that broke him into the mainstream and really is the role he was born to play.
Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn are also amazing. This film blends action with the perfect amount sci-fi and there is even some elements of horror involved. There are points in this movie were the Terminator feels like a really good slasher film villain.
You cannot call yourself an action film fan without watching The Terminator.
